Call for leadership to form special interest groups within CLTA-USA -- Feb. 17, 2016
In order to encourage CLTA members with common interests to form academic communities, exchange research and teaching information, collaborate on research/pedagogical projects, and share resources, I am happy to announce that the CLTA board has decided to launch the Special Interest Group (SIG) project within its organization.
I am writing to call for leadership to initiate and direct special interest groups. Any CLTA member who is employed full-time in a US elementary, secondary, or higher education institution and has expertise to serve as leader for the group is invited to submit a proposal for establishing a SIG with a focus on one of the following areas:
· Technology and Instructional application
· Chinese as a second language research
· K-5 Chinese Immersion
· K-12 classroom instruction and methodology
· Heritage language and heritage learners
· Teacher education and training
More areas can be added based on needs and interests. The basic operations of SIGs may include but are not limited to the following activities:
· Forming an online community --eGroup—(create LISTSEV for the group)
· Developing a website to share research/pedagogical activities or projects with the CLTA community
· Holding regular group activities for a common project
· Holding annual face-to-face group meeting/activity at CLTA sponsored conferences, if feasible
CLTA will provide the following support to each SIG:
· Listing each SIG on the CLTA website
· Providing web space within the CLTA website for sharing group projects
· Arranging meeting space for SIG activities during CLTA-sponsored conferences as requested
· Providing certain amount of activity funds based on needs
SIG memberships are free to CLTA members. A SIG may recruit non-CLTA members, who would pay a fee of $15 per year per SIG.
If you are interested in being a leader for a particular SIG, please fill out the attached proposal form and submit it toCLTA@UVM.EDU with a message tile of “CLTA SIG Leadership” by April 30, 2016. The CLTA Steering Committee will review the proposals and make recommendations to the Board. We will announce the results of proposal selection upon approval of the CLTA board.
Looking forward to your proposals!
Sincerely,
Helen Shen, President of CLTA-USA

It is with great pleasure that the Planning Committee of The First Chinese Innovation Foruminvites you to attend this forum which is being held on Oct. 18th, 2015 at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey in California. The mission of The First Chinese Innovation Forum is to jumpstart and create a sustainable conversation of innovation for the field of Chinese Language Education. We seek to enlist 40 to 50 active participants to engage in a dialogue of innovation. Each teacher comes with an idea of an innovative activity design, teaching plan, props design, etc., which would be shown at our Innovation-swap Table Showcase.
The First Chinese Innovation Forum invites World leading experts of language education to the morning session:
· Dr. Shuhan Wang, Keynote
· Dr. Kathleen Bailey (at MIIS), Keynote
· Dr. Peter Shaw (at MIIS), Keynote
· Dr. John Hedgcock, moderator of the roundtable discussion of innovation and pedagogy
The Afternoon session will be comprised of Chinese language-specific “innovation-swap” tables, which can include grammar instruction innovation, project innovation, tech innovation, character innovation, etc. By the end of the swap session, every table will have a showcase moment, and everyone will be able to provide feedback and reflective thoughts.
We would be honored if you would accept our invitation to become an active participant of this event, and believe this interactive forum will expand the horizon of Chinese language education. It is our hope that you will consider joining us, a group of highly motivated educators, to create changes.
As the weekend of October 18th coincides with another event being hosted by the city of Monterey, we anticipate that there will be difficulties booking accommodation. For the convenience of all, please register the event and book your hotel soon! Please do not hesitate to contact us regarding any questions you might have, and send it to [email protected] .

Redefining Communicative Competence and Redesigning ELT in the 21st Century
The early model of communicative competence as an instrumental approach to ELT no longer captures the breadth and depth of ELT in the 21st century. Focusing on research and observation of failures in ELT based on this model, the panelists challenge both its conceptual framework and pedagogical implication with examples from different angles.
Jun Liu is professor of applied linguistics and associate provost at Georgia State University. He taught English in China and the United States and obtained his PhD in foreign and second language education at The Ohio State University. A past president of TESOL and a member of the TIRF Board of Trustees, he has done extensive research in intercultural communication, teacher education, and sociopolitical and sociocultural aspects of language teaching and learning. His publications include "AsianStudents’ Classroom Communication Patterns in U.S. Universities" (2001),"English Language Teaching in China" (2007), and "TESOL: A Guide" (coauthored with Cynthia M. Berger, 2015).
Lourdes Ortega is professor at Georgetown University. She taught Spanish in Greece and English in the United States, and completed a doctorate in second language acquisition at the University of Hawaii. Working with language teachers and doctoral students since 2000 in Hawaii, Georgia, Arizona, and Washington DC, she is committed to developing knowledge about what it means to become a bilingual or multilingual language user later in life in ways that can encourage connections between research and teaching. Her publications include "Understanding Second Language Acquisition" (2015) and "Technology-Mediated Task-based Language Teaching" (coedited with Marta González-Lloret, 2014).
Michael Byram is professor emeritus at Durham University, United Kingdom, and guest professor at Luxembourg University. He “read” Languages at King’s College, Cambridge, United Kingdom,completed a doctorate in Danish literature, and taught French and German in secondary education. At Durham since 1980, he has been engaged in teacher training and research on languages and education. His monographs include"From Foreign Language Education to Education for Intercultural Citizenship," and he has edited the Routledge Encyclopedia of Language Teaching and Learning. He has been adviser to the Council of Europe Language Policy Division and is now working on guidelines for intercultural education.

Instructional Videos for Chinese Language Teachers--Dec. 1, 2014
http://asiasociety.org/china-learning-initiatives/teq-series
Part of Asia Society's professional development series for educators, these instructional videos for Chinese language teachers aim to share best practices in the field of Chinese language teaching.
Each year, Asia Society selects 5–10 Chinese teachers as Teaching Fellows. Under the one-on-one professional consultation of Dr. Weiling Wu, these selected teachers create, develop, and polish lesson plans. We then film the classroom of each selected teacher, and edit these to guide viewers to think and reflect on what they are observing in each video, to try and bridge the gap between instructional standards and classroom implementation.
These Chinese classes cover different grade levels and proficiency levels, and have been recorded to showcase the 8 Principles for Effective and Innovative Chinese Language Teaching and Learning, proposed by Dr. Wu. In each video, Dr. Wu explains what is happening and how the featured teacher is applying a specific principle, with the help of animated characters Mr. T (Theory), Ms. E (Enthusiasm), and Ms. Q (Question).
Materials in this series include:

Language Workshop at Cornell University--Posted on April 22
Cornell University, The Department of Asian Studies, The East Asia Program, and IMPAC are pleased to announce the East Asian Language Workshop to be held on the Cornell campus in Ithaca, NY on June 22, 2013. The theme for this year's workshop is “ National Standards and the 5 Cs: Articulatory Applications between K-12 and College,” presented by Dr. Scott McGinnis. The number of K-12 trained students in college Chinese and Japanese classrooms continues to increase. Considering the diversity of Chinese and Japanese curricula across the nation, how can we make these students' transition to college courses as smooth as possible, while maintaining the quality of learning and instruction at all levels? This workshop will show how the “Five Cs” of ACTFL's National Standards for Foreign Language Learning (Communication, Cultures, Connections, Comparisons, and Communities) can play a key role in the articulation between K-12 and college Asian language programs, and increase pedagogical effectiveness in both. Teachers of Asian languages at any level are encouraged to attend. Dr . Scott McGinnis is Professor and Academic Advisor at the Defense Language Institute, Washington, DC branch, and Coordinator for the US government\'s Interagency Language Roundtable. Dr. McGinnis has served two terms as the President of the Chinese Language Teachers Association, and has also served as Executive Director of the National Council of Less Commonly Taught Languages (NCOLCTL). He has published several books and numerous articles on language teaching and linguistics, including many regarding his own specializations in Chinese and Japanese. We expect to benefit greatly from Dr. McGinnis\'s rich classroom teaching experience and broad, up-to-date knowledge of the language-teaching field. This workshop is open to Asian language teachers at all levels. Registration closes Wednesday, June 5, 2013. For more information , please see our website at http://lrc.cornell.edu/impac/Ealw/ .
